Chapter 44 Arrows
Every time you clean the battlefield is the happiest moment - that means the risk is rewarded.
Opening the chest of the fourth Harvester, and taking out the energy crystal to look at it, Shen Yi finally let out a long breath.
One of these four is exactly the fourth crystal he needs.
To be able to collect four crystals of different types from the nine Reapers, it should be said that my luck is considered pretty good.
The next moment, the bloody emblem sent a reminder: "You have obtained four different types of C-level harvester crystals, please confirm whether to fuse them."
"Sure."
The next moment, four energy crystals fused into one.
Heraldry reminder: After paying 9000 blood points, you will get a reaper.
"I know this." Shen Yi smiled lightly.
Not far away, Zhou Yiyu came to him and sat down beside him: "Is the collection complete? I hope there will be harvesters in the third wave, don't you still have a few crystals of other types in your hand? If you can Some more, maybe a few more.”
"Why did you suddenly become so kind and caring about me?" Shen Yi was a little surprised.
"Your team members are all assembled, should you..."
Shen Yi understood.
Zhou Yiyu was referring to his joining the 641 team.
Shen Yi smiled and patted Zhou Yiyu: "Don't worry, it might not be a good idea to let them make a decision now. Why don't you get along for a while first, and wait for them to see your performance, be convinced of your character, and even establish a certain degree of friendship How about making a decision later? It’s better for you than letting them rush the decision.”
Zhou Yiyu thought about it too, nodded and left.
After the battle, the soldiers of the airborne battalion were responsible for cleaning the battlefield, and the adventurers introduced each other. In addition to the monk, the stout adventurer claimed to be Jing Shier, and the other claimed to be Lu De, but Shen Yi had already checked with his mind and found that these two people were all lying. But Shen Yi is not interested in exposing this kind of lies, everyone has the right to protect their own secrets, including names.
Various props with magical functions emerge in endlessly in the bloody city. Some props may affect the target as long as they know the name of the target, so it is still necessary to be careful. Of course, the rarity of such props is extremely high, and they often do not have lethal effects.
Shocked by Shen Yi's ability to eliminate the Reapers cleanly, the two new adventurers became much more honest and no longer easily challenged Shen Yi's prestige. The monk also came over and paid 400 blood point harvest.
After paying the blood point, the monk thought for a while and suddenly said: "I originally thought that if an adventurer who is not good at close combat is the captain, such a team would not go far no matter what. Now it seems that I was wrong, and I apologize to you. "
Shen Yi was stunned: "Why do you think so?"
The monk was also taken aback: "Why don't you know that in the bloody city, the captains of most teams are adventurers who are good at melee combat?"
Shen Yi shook his head.
After all, the time he lived in the bloody city is still relatively short. Although his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has even learned many things about the bloody city that others don't understand, but there are some ordinary things that he knows little about.
At this moment, the monk saw the confusion on Shen Yi's face, and also realized that the other party didn't know this, so he laughed: "No wonder your teammates chose you as the captain. It turns out that none of you know this. It's no wonder, here After all, it is the initial difficulty, and few people can have a formal team at the initial difficulty."
"Now that you know, tell me about it."
The monk smiled and said: "The answer is actually very simple, that is a tactical need. Generally speaking, Bloody City has a common understanding of the team: the team is like an arrow, and the captain is the arrow. Where the arrow points, the arrow Just shoot wherever you want, whether the arrow is good or not depends first on whether the arrow is sharp. If you can’t turn yourself into the captain of the arrow, no matter how strong the arrow is, it’s useless..."
An adventurer who is good at close combat is the captain, which is actually a set of experience that the adventurers have gradually summed up in battle after battle.
For the vast majority of teams, a smart captain or a long-distance combat captain is actually not as meaningful as a melee-type captain.
This is not because thinking is useless, but because it cannot replace powerful force as something that can achieve immediate results.
Think tank characters should play a unique role in big battles and big scenes. In local battles where there are only a few people, the effect that can be exerted is extremely limited. This is like the existence of a commander, which can only truly reflect its meaning at the regiment level. Soldiers below the regiment need more courageous leaders who can stimulate their morale and encourage them to fight, rather than facing the battle. A leader who sits and talks.
The so-called layout of thousands of miles is a kind of self-deceiving rhetoric in this kind of low-number and high-intensity battle, without any substantive meaning, and intellectual warfare is even more absurd to the extreme. The repeated testing of urban behavior like Shen Yi has already It is the result of using the mind to the limit, but it is impossible to make fundamental changes.
Therefore, for adventurers, in the bloody city, tactical ability will always be more meaningful than strategic ability.
The latter is too broad to apply to the combat style of traveling in various worlds like a passer-by—politically, you can’t play farming, pull allies, engage in diplomacy, and spread ideas in a certain task world. Strategically, with your limited manpower, it is even more impossible to play siege, encirclement on all sides, attacking east and west, encircling the city from the countryside...
As for the tactical layout, in fact, it does not require much wisdom from the team leader, it only needs the opponent to have enough combat experience and good psychological quality.
It is precisely because of this that many team leaders in the bloody city are most suitable for close combat players - they charge forward in combat, they are not only the main combat force, but also the tactical core of the entire team. Their task is to connect all the players together Combat with offensive and defensive integration.
For example, the captain gives a direct order: whoever I attack, you will attack accordingly. At this time, all team members will follow the action steps of the captain. This is the most common way of fighting. It pursues the most instant lethality and weakens the opponent as quickly as possible. This is also the easiest and most effective way to fight.
Not everything is as complex as possible. In combat, the word "simple" means easy to execute, less prone to errors, and efficient in action.
In this case, when two teams fight recklessly, the first thing to fight is which team's captain is more resistant and has more powerful attack power. Whichever side can defeat the opponent's main general first, the winning rate of that side will increase greatly.
For example, Xie Rongjun of the blood-thirsty team is such a typical melee attack captain. All his team members use him as the core when fighting, and carry out a unified attack output.
From the perspective of leadership skills, adventurers with strong personal strength are also easier to make others obey themselves, more convenient to establish prestige, ensure the effective execution of orders, and make the team a seamless one.
Therefore, when the monk saw Shen Yi for the first time, he found that the other party was not an adventurer with close combat expertise, and immediately felt that this team would not have any future.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yi's later performance really surprised the monk.
We must know that the so-called leadership ability, in essence, is the ability to control the emotions of others. You can get your team members to hate what you hate, expect what you expect, and like what you like, and you've accomplished the most important step in leading others.
Although Shen Yi is not a close-combat adventurer, his strong self-confidence in the face of death and his ability to control the thoughts of the team members are unparalleled.
Compared with a simple and practical tactic, the latter is obviously more significant.
"Although most of the team captains in the city are melee fighters, just like the most popular ones are not always the best, this cannot be a sign of a team's strength, so you don't have to care about it at all."
At this moment the monk admitted his mistake to Shen Yi very frankly.
"So it's like this..." Shen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.
It may be a good feeling to be a powerful close-combat strongman, to maximize the meaning of power, to rush back and forth among the crowd like a tiger, let the blood spurt, slaughter wantonly, and enjoy grievances and hatred.
But if there is a choice, Shen Yi actually prefers the current situation.
After thinking about it, he traded 400 blood points to the monk: "This is your message fee."
"There's no need for so many."
"Let's just make friends, sorry for my rudeness earlier." Shen Yi laughed.
The monk smiled and left.
Seeing the monk turn and leave, Shen Yi said to himself lightly: "Maybe I can't be the arrow, but I can always be the hand holding the arrow."
As he said that, he took out something from his arms, and while looking at it, his face froze and became extremely ugly.
"Hey, what are you staring at?" A sweet and pleasant voice came from behind.
There is no need to turn around, knowing that Wen Rou is behind him, Shen Yi quickly stuffed the thing into the coat of arms and said: "I was just wondering if I could sleep with my arms around you tonight."
Shen Yi was punched hard in the back by Rou Rou, which actually caused a slight injury, the force was really not light.
The next moment, the gentle snake-like jade arm was wrapped around Shen Yi's neck, and she leaned behind Shen Yi's ear and whispered: "Believe it or not, my aunt can kill you with one move."
Shen Yi smiled wryly: "Only a minute ago, someone told me that the greatest advantage of being a captain with a strong melee fighter is that he is deterrent and convincing. Now I really believe it. As a captain, I was called by my team members Fighting and shouting to kill is really embarrassing."
Rourou burst out laughing: "Who told you to let yourself down, you don't even have an attack skill until now."
Shen Yi suddenly slid sideways and twisted Wenrou's arm. Wenrou was caught off guard for a while, but after being twisted by him, the invisible vampire's touch was already on Wenrou's neck. He smiled and said: "No skills, no Can kill people as well?"
Gentle and charming eyes glanced at him, and suddenly the jade neck leaned back, while dodging Shen Yi's dagger, she kicked Shen Yi in the air. Her kick contained the ability of a high-speed nervous response system, and the speed was so fast and urgent that Shen Yi could not resist it at all.
Shen Yi was kicked away on the spot by this kick, he was thrown out with a gentle whip, rolled Shen Yi upright, and then pulled him back, with the samurai sword resting on Shen Yi's neck, he smiled and said: "I'm afraid it's It should be more difficult."
The lower body suddenly felt a hard object touch the body.
Wen Rou was stunned, only to find that Shen Yi's spirit gun was already pointing at her lower abdomen.
Shen Yi smiled and said: "There are two guns below, you can choose one yourself."
Wen Rou blushed, and the samurai sword and whip disappeared at the same time.
"I won't quarrel with you." She said, "Come with me, and let me tell you what happened today."
"Happy to obey."
So just like that, the two walked together under the moon, chatting casually.
The soldiers don't bother them, and the adventurers won't be so ignorant.
They walked out of the repair center together and came to an open wilderness.
Looking at the starry sky and feeling this quiet and charming night, I feel a special feeling in my heart.
Rourou suddenly pulled Shen Yi to sit down, pointed to the night sky in the distance and said: "Do you think the bloody city is one of the stars? It is blinking and looking at us now. Maybe it is still saying: Huh? I assign such a difficult task to you, and you are still in the mood to look at the stars here? Wait until tomorrow, and I will send a lot of robots to kill you!"
"It's possible!" Shen Yi replied seriously: "I don't know why, these few hours, I've been feeling like I'm being spied on, as if someone is staring at us. Maybe it's the Skynet Cafe. "
"Then why don't we stop resisting tomorrow, or run away as soon as possible?"
"OK."
Rourou rolled his eyes, shook his head and said: "Forget it, anyway, I have to try anyway, if I can't beat it, then I can run in time, right?"
Shen Yi laughed: "Okay, then try, if we really can't beat us, we will run again."
The gentle voice suddenly lowered: "I'm afraid it will be too late."
Shen Yi was stunned, Wen Rou had already lightly leaned on his thigh, and murmured: "How many hours are left before dawn? I am so tired, I want to sleep but dare not sleep. I am afraid that when I wake up, the enemy will wake up." The muzzle of the gun is already on the head..."
Shen Yi patted her face lightly: "Sleep, I'm here, it's fine."
"Then...you promise me that you won't touch me while I'm asleep."
"Of course, I've always been a gentleman."
"Then where do you put your hands now?"
"Aren't you still asleep?"
"...Dead pervert."
Rourou turned over, lay in Shen Yi's arms and fell into a deep sleep.
Looking at her smile, Shen Yi felt an ominous feeling in his heart for some reason.
The feeling of being peeped in my heart became more and more intense, but I didn't know where it came from.
An unexplained sense of crisis made him shiver all over.
Rourou turned over in his arms and said softly, "Don't move."
Shen Yi became a little dazed for a moment.
